Disciplinary Guidelines - Types of Discipline - Detentions

A detention requires a student to spend additional time at the school before or after regular school hours. Except in emergencies, students will be given twenty four (24) hours notice in order to make arrangements for transportation, etc.

  • Detentions may be assigned by any teacher or school administrator

  • Detentions are considered an extension of the school day and shall receive priority over team practices, club activities, and other extra curricular activities.

  • Detention time may be doubled if the detention is not served when assigned. Failure to meet this additional detention may result in more severe disciplinary action.

  • Saturday detentions may be used for infractions such as: truancy from school, refusing to serve after school detentions, and other infractions of rules and policies as determined by the school administration. The purpose of Saturday detentions is to maximize the amount of in class time a student can spend in school while being disciplined for misconduct or disobedience.

  • Students who fail to serve Saturday Detention or who are disruptive in Saturday Detention may be given in-school detention and/or suspended out-of-school.
